Product type
Cryogenic steel is a specialized type of steel that is designed to maintain its strength and toughness at extremely low temperatures, typically below -196°C. This steel is often alloyed with elements such as nickel and chromium to enhance its performance in cryogenic environments. The unique properties of cryogenic steel make it suitable for applications in industries where materials are subjected to very low temperatures, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and transportation.
| Material Composition | Alloyed with nickel, chromium, and other elements |
| Typical Operating Temperature | Down to -196°C |
| Tensile Strength | Typically ranges from 550 to 900 MPa |
| Impact Toughness | Charpy V-notch values above 50 J at -196°C |
| Standard Forms | Available in plates, bars, and pipes |
When selecting cryogenic steel, buyers should consider the specific temperature requirements of their application and the necessary mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and impact toughness. It is also important to specify the desired alloy composition and any relevant certifications for cryogenic use. Quantities may vary based on project needs, so providing detailed information will help suppliers offer accurate quotes.
